I spent a good 30minutes reading this at work..
Though I think I may have seen a few of you around ingame, I knew none of you. Looking at the whole situation as an outsider perspective really lets me see what's going on with both sides..
I went over to the dbs forums and skimmed up all the posts a bit, there seemed to be nothing related to queenie, dankie, and the rest of the people. I couldn't figure who was the Admin until a bit of wandering around.
Needless to say, I do think that the person controlling the forum is narcisstic and somewhat self centered. I don't see the victims of the set party complaining, but only the one behind it all.
But still people have different attitudes and personalities. One guy may let you take a spin in his car, but another guy may not even let you touch the seat recliner. That's how different attitudes are between people, how they turned into that, it shouldn't really be of one's business. But you did catch on that people have different traits and it's wise not to immediately charge up on them for it, which you didn't do, very good mood you have to have to keep up intolerance. Like a boss at work (I probably coulnd't front him if he caught me reading this haha).
As for your post now, I can see it being from a massive buildup of frustration and venting to get it all out. Again, different people do different stuff, that's how your friend quit by deleting his own account and not even announcing anything.
People can't live without the accompanying of others. You could live a life of solitude, but it'd changed your personality a whole lot. What I think happened here is that someone took the companionship of everyone more as a thing of being taken for granted. From there drama and stuff like that happens.
Perhaps if one of you actually spoke to Aramis about the problem with him you guys were having, it may have helped a bit? Maybe not, but it's general fact that if a small obstruction is left alone, it could grow over time, and cause serious damage later. Just like cancer.
I get what's happening here big time, not only does it inform me about what happens between people ingame, it also shows me how disruptive things can get just by leaving them unattended.
In the end it would be sad to see how just one person managed to make four quit the game due to intolerability. I surely hope you four don't take it that this is how some people are alike, please take another chance.
